Protester runs onto court with flare during French Open Final

The Final of the French Open match between Rafa Nadal and David Ferrer was interrupted after a protester with ‘Kids Rights’ written on his chest ran onto the court, past security, with a red flare. With Nadal serving for the second set, a half-naked man entered the court on Nadal’s end, flare in hand. The protester was immediately tackled by security but not before he caused a major scene. Video via Business Insider. Nadal’s immediate reaction was to run off the court as you can see by this video.

More protesters were seen the upper deck of the stadium with a banner calling for the resignation of French President Francois Hollande.
